in vitero was an artistic research project investigating the relationships between human and non-human organisms used in technoscientific research. Nine species commonly used in scientific research were cared for over a period of seven months within a scientific laboratory and an art gallery. This article discusses the aesthetic experiences of this prolonged interspecies care through the lens of alterity, a phenomenological mode of negotiating relationships between self and other. It extends this concept from solely human associations to those between human and non-human organisms. Ambiguities and contradictions that arise through caring for organisms that do not ‘look back’ are explored. The technoscientific use of these organisms is recontextualised within an artistic context in order to undertake the new category work necessary in defining human/non-human relationalities
